Coffee Flowers Extract

Also known as Fleurs du Cafeyer d'Arabie.





  • 1 oz cassie essence
  • 1 oz tuberose essence
  • 1 oz rose spirit
  • fifty grains of freshly roasted coffee (bruised)
  • 2 oz deodorized alcohol


Digest the coffee with the alcohol for two days, filter, adding sufficient alcohol to make the resulting tincture measure two fluid ounces; then add to it the other ingredients.

Coffee flowers give excellent perfume reminiscent of jasmine, cassia and mimosa. The resemblance between name and odor is probably as imaginary here as in the case above. The extract is peculiar, but, save as a novelty, received but little attention.

  • 1 pint extract of musk
  • 1/2 pint extract of ambergris
  • 1/2 pint extract of vanilla
  • 1/2 pint extract of tonka bean

Tulip Nosegay Perfume

Nearly all the tulip tribe, although beautiful to the eye, are inodorous. The variety called the Duc Van Thol, however, yields an exquisite perfume, but it is not used by the manufacturer for the purpose of extracting its odor. He, however, borrows its poetical name, and makes an excellent imitation thus:


  • 1 pint Extract of tubereuse
  • 1 pint Extract of violet
  • 1/2 pint Extract of  rose
  • 3 oz  Extract of orris
  • 3 drops Otto of almonds

Delcroix's Millefleurs et Lavande Bouquet:

  • 1 pint Spirits from grape
  • 2 oz Extract of ambergris

The original "lavender aux millefleurs" is that of Delcroix; its peculiar odor is due to the French otto of lavender, which, although some folks like it, is very inferior to the English otto of lavender; hence the formula first given is far superior to that by the inventor, and has almost superseded the original preparations.

There are several other compounds or bouquets of which lavender is the leading ingredient, and from which they take their name, such as lavender and ambergris, lavender and musk, lavender and maréchale, &c., all of which are composed of fine spirituous essences of lavender, with about 15 per cent. of any of the other ingredients.
